1982. 18 years per generation.

1910 - 1927: WWII / Greatest Generation
1928 - 1945: Silent Generation
1946 - 1963: Baby Boomers
1964 - 1981: Gen X
1982 - 1999: Millennials
2000 - present: post-Millenials

Millenials are basically anyone who was a minor at the millenium. Yeah I know the millenium didn't actually happen until 2001.

Depends on if the position description was 9-5 Monday to Friday when she started or if she took the job knowing she'd have to work weekends. If my boss all of a sudden started demanding I work weekends I'd tell them to go gently caress themselves too.

First moron they put on the job kept calling off every Saturday and loudly bragging "they're not gonna fire me!" She got fired.

Second idiot they put on the job got fired two days later when she uploaded snapchat after snapchat of the 8 people she invited in the office to party during the overnight shift.

Off by one, but yeah. (Start at 1911-1928 and go on from there.)

Also, 'millenial' is mostly used by people complaining about Generation Y (1983-2000). I don't think the 2001-2012 cohort has a name yet, though.

That reminds me of that guy who bet his life savings on some annual WWE show-match where the Undertaker customarily wins... The one time something went wrong and the Undertaker had to forfeit due to an injury.

He didn't forfeit, it was the only Wrestlemania match he ever lost.

We Don’t Need a Cure for WWE Fans – And Pushing One Is Really Messed Up

June 11, 2015 by Creigh Farinas and Caley Farinas

I used to want to cure WWE fans.

I babysat for a WWE support group and listened pityingly as parents described how hard it was to have a child be so obsessed with a fake wrestling show – thinking nothing of the fact that those children were right there listening.

I begged my mom to take my WWE enthusiast sister, Caley, and me to a "WWE isn't real" event, ignoring the fact that my sister herself wasn’t interested in doing so.

Later, I went still further and led a fundraiser at my high school to raise hundreds of dollars for World Wrestling Exeunt, an organization that pushes for a cure for WWE enthusiasm.

As the sibling of a fake wrestling enthusiast, I felt it was my duty to do these things to show my support for her and others like her.

Here’s the thing, though: Many WWE fans don’t actually want a cure.

More heartbreakingly, I didn’t realize that my own sister felt that way, too – that as I was proudly marching to help her, she was right there silently wishing that I wasn’t.

Couldn't one of the wrestlers just tell all his friends to be on him because he will win since it's, you know, an act?

I once spent 50 bucks on an online casino just to check it out and lost it all within an hour, I have not bet since. That's my story.

The job description at the time has exactly zero bearing on what an employer might change their needs to. And your ability to say no to it is entirely dependent on your financial security to quit outright at the moment they do.

Because olds somehow seem to think 'millenial' applies to people in their late teens to early twenties exclusively, not also to people in their late twenties to early thirties.

You're in that weird half generation that I am, which is the tail end of the X and beginning of the Millenials. I don't seem to have that much in common with gen x, but also have not much in common with millenials either. I've seen it referred to as the Oregon Trail generation which is a stupid name but it does seem to be a good baseline if you're in that time period (which would be you played Oregon Trail on a computer in grade school)
